The industry's first seamlessly integrated visual mapping tool for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007, Live Maps 2.0 for System Center Operations Manager 2007, was announced by Savision B.V. IT organizations can quickly transform, with Live Maps, any geographical map or application, network diagram, service into a dynamic, context-aware monitoring map that simplifies event recognition and speeds problem resolution. So administrators can act on the event already knowing its business context, System Center alerts are rendered on familiar, business-specific images such as geographic maps or data center blueprints.

Allowing System Center alert information to be intelligently distributed beyond the domain of the central management site. Live Maps customers use the Web Console to improve internal communications, Live Maps 2.0 includes a Web Console that displays Live Maps on browser enabled clients. For example, a customer provides an enterprise service-level dashboard to senior IT and program executives who travel frequently, another with many sites uses Live Maps to alert remote help desk staff of events in their facility. To make Live Maps' real-time, monitoring displays the focal point of a secure SLA portal provided to each client, an IT service provider uses the Web Console.

Director of System Center product management at Microsoft, Robert Reynolds, Corp. commented: "The System Center family of products provides comprehensive solutions for customers to proactively plan, deploy, manage and optimize their physical and virtual IT environments". "We are pleased that Savision has combined Live Maps with System Center Operations Manager 2007 to enrich the contextual relevancy of IT management information for our mutual customers."
